A preliminary model of time-pressure dispensing system for bioprinting based on printing and material parameters

In recent years, computer-assisted technology has been adopted into the field of tissue engineering. The ability to control the input of cell/material using computer technology has spun an active field termed bioprinting. Of the three different types of bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based bioprinting allows deposition of material with varying viscosity range. Several studies optimise the bioprinting process to study the effect of extrusion printing and material parameters in relation to formation quality and cell viability. This article aims to develop a model for a time-pressure extrusion-based biodispensing system, providing a platform for future correlation studies.
